So I have not done much lately

I have done all of the things that were needed to make it into a half ton.  So I needed to bleed the brakes to get it ready for the road. I tried to rent the vacuum tool from Autozone but it did not have the reservoir. So I took it back and ordered one from Amazon but I am waiting for it. Although I did notice that my rear cylinder on my drums had the bleed valve broke off. So I decided just to replace the whole thing.  In the process of taking it off I broke the brake line. I pretty much knew that this was going to happen. So I also had to replace that. So here are the pics.

Here it is with the wheels on.

So I thought I would snap a photo today of what the truck looks like. I put all of the steering linkage in today and finished up the front end.  Man it sure looks like a 1/2 ton now. I like it. I will like it even better when I have it on the road. Next step is to hook up rear brake line then bleed all of the brakes and adjust e-brake.  Then all I have to do is hook up the link bar in the rear and charge the battery then make her maiden voyage. Ha Ha.

1/2 Ton now.

Well as you all know my good truck is a 3/4 ton or at this stage was a 3/4 ton.  So my updates are that I converted the front end to a 1/2 ton 6 lug with drums, since my disc conversion didn't work out as well as I planned. So I am going to have to wait until I have more funds to be able to buy the kit from CPP.  Anyway i still have to convert the steering linkage over so that is why its not all together in the picture.

Yes my shop is now pretty messy, with all the extra truck parts all over the place.  Anyway to update you all on my frame here are some current pics. I don't think there is anything left on it that I still need to take off.  I just need to cut the 12" sections in the middle and 8" in the back and then weld it all back together. I am moving the rear cab mounts back right now but I didn't have a big enough drill bit for it. I have drilled the pilot holes though and removed the cab mounts. Oh I also removed the the front end and that will be sand blasted at the same time as the frame.
